Ah cool - many thanks to all.
I can confirm that updating FCGI to 0.71 fixes the issue when using IPC::Run
explicitly. The following now works as expected under FCGI:
my ($in, $out, $err);
my $success = IPC::Run::run \...@cmd_args, \$in, \$out, \$err,
IPC::Run::timeout( 10 );
Just out of interest - the following still doesn't work:
my ($success, $error_code, $full_buf, $out_buf, $err_buf) =
IPC::Cmd::run(
command => \...@cmd_args,
verbose => 0,
timeout => 10,
);
It goes past the timeout and the log has the error:
"Could not dup 'STDIN': Invalid argument"
I haven't looked under the hood but this doesn't seem to be anything to do
with Catalyst so I'll take it away from this mailing list - I'll investigate
further and log it with IPC::Cmd if necessary.
Thanks again,
Ian
